for the day OF the trial ireland hated English law
because while minor offences in the South and West OF
Ireland severely punished, Orangemen in the
North could commit outrage and murder with I'M
punity. The ewness OF eyctions was due TO the JOINT
effect Of Government pressure and the Plan OF Cam,
como when England's conscience would become
awakened to the crime the country had committed in
allowing its forces to assist at such scenes In behalf
OF men who DEAD to every sense OF Christian
